本书的编写定位是希望能够成为本专业权威和传世之作。故此，在编排章节上，力求把*的检查技术和应用、尽可能全的疾病、相关影像学诊断与鉴别诊断等内容，以较为系统的知识展示给读者，尽可能地将本书编写成为国内“全面、系统、经典”的大型参考书。注重体现不同作者在呼吸系统疾病诊断与鉴别诊断中的体会，参考了相关疾病诊断的*指南，充实和细化了每一节中所描述的内容，既注重系统性和实用性，也强调时效性和参考性。

X线片是诊断骨与关节损伤*基本且必须的检查手段。但对于关节内骨折、邻近关节的粉碎骨折、儿童的三平面骨折、骨骺损伤等复杂骨折的诊断和手术方法的选择以及手术计划的制定，仍需要依靠CT、MRI等辅助诊断。尤其对于关节内骨折、脊柱骨折、骨盆骨折等复杂骨折病例，CT和MRI已经成为常规检查，没有CT、MRI参与的治疗方案被认为是不规范、不科学的方案。本书就是将关节内、脊柱、骨盆等易漏诊的骨折部位、骨折类型行归纳、总结，以提示临床骨科医生要认真分析三种影像学检查的表现，制定规范、科学、有效的治疗方案。 本书囊括了临床几千例骨折影像学资料，可为临床精准诊断与治疗、降低并尽量避免误诊、漏诊提供依据，是骨科实习医生、青年医生及影像学医生的工具书。

A STUDY OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN CHINA AND THE MEDITERRANEAN WORLD IN ANCIENT TIMES是同作者《古代地中海和中国关系史研究》一书的英文版，是作者研究希腊、罗马世界和中国关系的文献资料的辑录和成果集结。 部分辑录和诠释中国史籍所载古代地中海世界及其与中国中原王朝关系的资料。第二部分讨论古代地中海世界与中国北方游牧诸族的关系。公元六世纪之前，中国中原王朝对地中海世界的了解非常模糊，传说盛行。大部分传说竟出诸中国人自己的想象。这表明当时中国人对地中海世界是多么向往！反过来，希腊、罗马史家对中国中原王朝的了解同样十分模糊。同一时期，地中海世界与中国北方游牧诸族之间关系却比较密切。所谓草原之路至迟在公元前7世纪已经形成，商人、使者的往来，尤其是部落的迁徙，不仅加深了彼此的了解，也架起了沟通东西文明的桥梁。游牧诸族没有留下文献，我们主要是通过西方史家的记录来了解他们与地中海世界之间的关系，尽管这些记录需要推敲之处不少，但实质性交往无疑是存在的。中原王朝对地中海世界相互了解之模糊以及北方诸族与地中海世界之间关系之密切形成了鲜明的对照。早期地中海和中国的关系呈现在我们面前的便是这样一幅情景。

Born in the mountains above Venice in the late fifteenth century, Tiziano Vecellio or Titian was the greatest painter of the Venetian High Renaissance. A poetic visionary and a technical master of oils, he painted everything, from frescoes and grand altarpieces to mythological stories and portraits works described by his contemporaries as "mirrors of nature."Sheila Hale's rich biography is the first since 1877 to examine all contemporary accounts of Titian's life and work as well as recent art historical scholarship, some of it previously unpublished. Her book charts the extraordinary transformation of Titian's style: from the radiant, minutely realized masterpieces of his youth, to the more freely painted work of his middle years, to the dark, tragic, sometimes terrifying visions of his old age. Drawing on the latest scientific examinations of his paintings, Hale seeks to explain the evolution of his methods and his art. In doing so, she also gives many different voices from Titian's lifetime to today free reign to explore, praise, and sometimes doubt his genius.When Titian died in 1576, in his late eighties, he had spent the whole of his working life in Venice the most celebrated city in Europe traveling as little as possible despite the clamor for his presence at the great courts of the continent. He had witnessed wars, Ottoman invasions, and the rising Protestant threat to the Catholic Church. He had become the favored painter of both Charles V the most powerful man in the world and his son, Philip II of Spain, who became Titian's most important patron.Sheila Hale's masterly biography presents Titian through the lens of the turbulent times in which he lived and explores how this innovative sixteenth-century master conveyed in his paintings a kind of truth that few other artists have been able to communicate, which has fascinated Titian's admirers and followers ever since.

Millions of Readers, Eighteen Editions, One Trusted ResourceFrom social networking to social graces, the name Emily Post has been the definitive source on etiquette for generations of Americans. That tradition continues with the 18th edition of Etiquette, which welcomes a new generation of Posts Anna Post, Lizzie Post, and Daniel Post Senning the great-great grandchildren of Emily Post. Led by Peggy Post, author of the 16th and 17th editions of Etiquette, this team shows how twenty-first-century manners are a combination of kindness, confidence, and awareness. New trends, topics, and societal hot zones include: When is it okay to unfriend someone on FacebookIf I'm in a middle seat on an airplane, do I automatically get both armrestsA business client is sick with a cold am I obligated to shake his handIs it rude for guests to tweet from a weddingDo I have to buy a gift if I attend a destination weddingCan I email a condolence noteShould I cover up my tattoo for a job interviewThe Posts don't stint on classic conundrums, either. Emily Post's Etiquette includes advice on names and titles, dress codes, invitations, table manners, workplace frustrations, and weddings. According to the Posts, though times have changed, the principles of good manners remain constant. Above all, manners are a sensitive awareness of the feelings of others. Being considerate, respectful, and honest is more important than knowing which fork to use. Whether it's a handshake or a fist bump, it's the underlying sincerity and good intentions of the action that matter most.

From Danny Bowien, chef and cofounder of the tremendously popular Mission Chinese Food restaurants, comes an exuberant cookbook that tells the story of an unconventional idea born in San Francisco that spread cross-country, propelled by wildly inventive recipes that have changed what it means to cook Chinese food in America Mission Chinese Food is not exactly a Chinese restaurant. It began its life as a pop-up: a restaurant nested within a divey Americanized Chinese joint in San Francisco's Mission District. From the beginning, a spirit of resourcefulness and radical inventiveness has infused each and every dish at Mission Chinese Food. Now, hungry diners line up outside both the San Francisco and New York City locations, waiting hours for platters of Sizzling Cumin Lamb, Thrice-Cooked Bacon, fiery Kung Pao Pastrami, and pungent Salt-Cod Fried Rice.The force behind the phenomenon, chef Danny Bowien is, at only thirty-three, the fastest-rising young chef in the United States. Born in Korea and adopted by parents in Oklahoma, he has a broad spectrum of influences. He's a veteran of fine-dining kitchens, sushi bars, an international pesto competition, and a grocery-store burger stand. In 2013 Food & Wine named him one of the country's Best New Chefs and the James Beard Foundation awarded him its illustrious Rising Star Chef Award. In 2011 Bon Appétit named Mission Chinese Food the second-best new restaurant in America, and in 2012 the New York Times hailed the Lower East Side outpost as the Best New Restaurant in New York City. The Mission Chinese Food Cookbook tracks the fascinating, meteoric rise of the restaurant and its chef. Each chapter in the story—from the restaurant's early days to an ill-fated trip to China, to the opening of the first Mission Chinese in New York—unfolds as a conversation between Danny and his collaborators, and is accompanied by detailed recipes for the addictive dishes that have earned the restaurant global praise. Mission Chinese's legions of fans as well as home cooks of all levels will rethink what it means to cook Chinese food, while getting a look into the background and insights of one of the most creative young chefs today.
